Yup, that really is my mug on that mug!

My P.A. (personal assistant) got this mug done before Christmas. It is hand painted by Laurie Hammond  who is a huge animal lover - well she loves the little ones too. Her favorite animals are wolves as you can tell from her website but that is probably just because she doesn't have any dachshunds in her home. She also donates a portion of her sales to worthwhile animal charities which makes her top of my list!

So my P.A. got this mug so she can gaze at my likeness when I am unavailable for her to gaze upon the real thing. I was all excited when I saw my beautiful face on the front and then my P.A. turned it around ... I noticed the mug wasn't just of me... that darn Beezuzu got into the picture... but at least she is on the backside of the mug. It's rather apropos don't you think?  ~ RUBY

                                                

P.S.  It's the front of the mug if you are left-handed ~ Beezuzu

Animals in Magic!!

The International Brotherhood of Magicians Ring 92, Vancouver Magic Circle invited me to their meeting the last Thursday of January. I have been before, of course, with my personal assistant who is a member. I have lots of fans there, always pupparazzi there snapping my picture - it never gets old!

This time I had to spend time demonstrating all that I have trained my P.A. to do, as well as run Zuzu through her paces. She did okay but her attention span is that of a gnat... she kept wandering over to the crate that housed Gary Savard's Macaw named Coco. (Gary is Coco's personal assistant and works with Coco performing at magic shows.)

Coco showed restraint by not taking Zuzu's eye out when she poked her face close to the crate. A Diva with control, got to love that. I, on the other paw, wandered around just because I can - after all I am a doxie diva.

It was very exciting when Coco flew around the room. Beezuzu went a little crazy so my P.A. put her in her crate and moved her into the hallway. She just wouldn't be quiet... it was so embarassing.

There were a bunch of doves there that I thought was a parting gift, but apparently not. Perhaps next time.

We also met Abby, aka Abi-cadabra (& her Personal Assistants Bruce & Jennifer Meyers) - she jumps through linking rings and performs in her P.A.'s Magic Shows. She is very sweet but lacks that diva attitude - she does whatever her P.A.s ask of her.  We will have to sit down and have a talk... very soon!



Sleeping Beauty snores.

 All in all it was an enjoyable night.

P.S. I want a Macaw too! ~ Beezuzu
